Letters Patent-No. 104,267, dated 'June 14, 1870.

IMPRovnMENT 1N cHURNs.

g The Schedule` referred to in these Letters Patent-and making prt of the same MFI- To all whom fit may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY GAsLow, ot York, in thc county of York and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Chur-ns; and I .do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing making a part of this specification, and to the let-ters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1, of the drawing, is a vertical central section of my invention.

Figure 2 is a top view of the same.

Figure 3 is a horizontal section.

My invention relates to churns, and consists in the construction and novel arrangementof the dasher, and thc method of securing it to the lifter, and the latter tothe churn-top, whereby all the parts are adapted to he easily cleaned.

The letter A, oi.' the drawing, designates the case of my churn.

B B represent semicircula-r sectionslbrming its top, designed to fit within the moutli of the case, and provided with a anch extending over the edge thereof'.

-Betwcen the sections B B passes the upper journal of the shafts of the dasher, provided with a' pinion, l), and operated bythe crank C, through the spur-wl1eel c.

Fastened to the section B of the top, to which the crank is attached, are the perpendicular strips or slats, l which connect thereto and support the lifting board D, into which the shaft of the dasher is stepped. E represents the dasher provided with the shaft F, andthe vertical paddles G G connecting the upper and lower transverse head-boards H H.

On each side of the shaft the paddles G G are parallel to each other, but they are arranged to incline horizontally toward the paddles of the opposite side.

They are provided with the perforations z z arranged in a zig-zag direction throughout their length..

Hooks mm, pivoted to one of the top sections B B, are adapted to catch in staples fastened to the other, and for further security the loose section may'be fastened by means of' a pin, s, through the wall of the case.

The hooks m on having been unfastened, and the A pin s withdrawn, the top, with lifter and flasher, may

be at once drawn up ont of the ease, which can then be cleaned like any ordinary tub 0r bucket. As the sections B B will at once separate when removed from Q the mouth of the case, the flasher may be taken out of the lifter-frame, thereby enabling both to be cleansed separately.

The arrangement of the paddles ofthe dasher is designed to accelerate the production of the bntt-erby giving diverse currents to the cream. The paddles upon one side of' the dasher are adapted to throw the cream toward the wall of the churn-case, while the other paddles serve to throw it toward the center. A still different eiect is produced by the perforations.

What I claim as my invention, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

` The churn herein described, having sectional top B, lifter H, hooks m an, pin s, and dasher, provided with the perforated paddles G G horizontallyinclined toward each other, when constructed and arranged to operate as and for the purposes herein.

In testimony that I claim theI above, I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

HENRY OASLOW.
